I Ordered this chair and recieved it quickly. the setup of this chair was very easy you just had to take your time and read the directions and play around with the different gadgets on the chair to see how it works. But all and all the chair itself is great is perfect for people who has limitations on their joints and can only do low impact workouts. and the DVD'S that came with this were great and this was my first time ever getting into pilates. this chair were a perfect start for me.

I too should have read the reviews before ordering. 3 different people have tried to get the machine set up and we can't. We push in the pin and try to open the legs and it won't open. Very disappointed, it is going back ASAP.

I just love my Pilates Chair. I've recently lost some weight and needed to switch up my routine. It arrived quickly after ordering, and I was able to set it up right out of the box. It is enough of a challenge and my muscles seem more defined. Thanks for such a great product!!!

I would say don't bother! It is not an intense workout you feel like you're doing nothing. I am very disappointed esp for the money I wasted!

As I have a small house, I needed to store the chair in a closet and dismantling this item is difficult and time consuming not to mention this chair is heavy. I'm sure it is a good addition to an exercise routine but not enough if that is your only choice.

I bought this for my daughter who is 15 and a competitive ice skater. She loves it. It is fun to do the movements and the poster of the ten makeover moves is really helpful. She loves the tapes and we both like the fact that it is compact yet it is a very solid piece of equipment. It is also fun to do the movements. Thanks for a great product. We are both very pleased and would recommend this anyone. It is no impact and good for people who have knee or back problems.

I really feel like I have had a good workout when I finish with the Malibu Pilates. I don't do the tapes, it was too hard trying to do the moves and watching the tape at the same time, so I just memorized the moves and watch my favorite TV show while I am exercising. I keep it set up and since it is pretty heavy, when I finish I use four of the small sliders that you move furniture with, put one under each foot of the chair and slide it next to the end of my sofa where it is out of the way and not noticeable. I love it and thanks to flex pay it was affordable for me.

I got my Malibu Pilates within a few days of ordering. I had read all the reviews from people saying all the problems they had with opening the chair and taking it out of the box, that I actually think I was scared to peek inside. I finally decided to take on that challenge Monday morning. I saw someone said read the manual first and it all made perfect sense when I did. It said unhook the springs AND push in that lever on the side of the chair to unfold. Otherwise, you wont be able to unfold the chair if you dont. I put it together myself. I hope to be able to report back later my succcess story. Good luck to everyone else!!

Well, I was really excited to get it. It shipped fast. But I still have not been able to open the chair itself up. My husband,grandson and I have all tried so I guess I am going to have to send it back. So I can't really say if I lke it cause the one I got doesn't work to try it.
Maybe next time. I hate having to return stuff!!!!!

I am 5'4", 130 lbs and 52 years young. I have never been athletic but walk 30-45 minutes every day. I need to tone, strengthen and improve flexibility. My pooch belly has to go after losing 60 lbs last year and it is not going to happen with walking. After my first workout with the DVD that came with the sculpting handles, I was sore in all the places that need toning.I also have the Power Pilates Gym which I like but I get tired of getting up off the floor all the time. There were several exercises I had to do the modified version on so I know there is plenty of room to build up to harder exercises. I put it together myself and didn't even read the instructions. The equipment seems sturdy and stable. Think this has a lot of potential for being something I will do consistently. I like having so many DVD's to choose from for variety.

I was excited about receiving my Malibu Pilates chair. It took quite a while to get all the packaging off. Once I did the rubber protector on the bottom of the leg fell off twice. The chain that holds the pin was broken and the pin fell off the chain. Also the chair would not open, I tried for about 20 minutes and then gave up. I again tried later and still could not open it up and then noticed the round end of one of the springs was placed over 2 of the metal pieces under the seat and will not come off. I am very disappointed and frustrated with the product. I called HSN who directed me to Guthy Ranker and I had to leave a message with them, they never called me back. I called HSN back and they were very helpful in explaining how to return the product. I would not ask for a replacement of this product.

I've been trying to lose the last 10 lbs and I think I've found the way. The reason is that I don't have to fold it like the other machines. I have a glider, which gives me a good work out, but it's heavy and often dangerous to fold or to set up to use. So I seldom use it. In fact, I'll get rid of it.
I leave the Malibu Pilates chair in my living room; so it's always ready for me. I feel lighter and less flabby now; and my legs look great!
Thanks HSN!!

This is a wonderful tool to use to get an incredible workout and to feel the joy and relaxation from stretching. I use this while watching tv or while I listen to mustic. The more I use it the more relaxed I feel...my breathing is deeper...and I am far more flexible. I am 58. When I use the chair consistently I don't feel the stiffness in my knees or legs. I love the Malibu Pilates Chair so much I just bought one for my sister for Christmas...

I've been shopping at HSN for over 10 years, this is the FIRST time a product made me want to shout a loud...AMAZING. I'm prisoner no longer to the unaffordable (don't care what tax bracket you fall in) pilates reformer classes...spending about $4,000.00 a year to pilates reformer classes (3) days a week...NO MORE. I've found the gem, might I add MUCH better workout, forces you to isolate core even more, where as the reformer "glides" you into movements. LOVE IT. I do recommend taking a few private pilates classes prior so you know what the proper "terms" and core technics/breathing...then it's financial freedom and no more cancellation penalties. Looking forward to obtaining a powerhouse pilates workout on my schedule!!!

I love this chair. It was very easy to set up and you get a very good work out. I was surprised as I'm used to working out with weights or doing aerobic type exercises. It's amazing how what seems to be such simple movements can make such a difference in changing the size and shape of ones body. I sometimes sit in front of the TV just doing the leg warm up exercises repeatedly. It's like riding a bicycle. It's a great way to make good use of TV time by burning calories and toning and strengthening ones legs.

I have to agree with the other lady who said she didn't understand the negative reviews on this. I too, waited a while before buying this and am so glad I did. I just love it. It was very easy to put together and is very sturdy. And yes, some of the exercises are difficult but that proves it's going to give you a workout! Just build up to them. I find myself getting stronger each time I'm on it. I see definition starting to come back to my arms, my butt is lifting and my pants are fitting better. This after just one month of using this three times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. Well worth the money-better and cheaper than going to a smelly crowded gym.
